The Pittsburgh Steelers made headlines earlier in the offseason when it was revealed they would be partaking in the NFL’s first regular-season game in Ireland. With the official schedule release coming next week, rumors and potential leaks are starting to come out about who Pittsburgh will play in the historic matchup.
According to Andre Fillipponi, the Steelers’ trip to Ireland will come in Week 4, and Pittsburgh will play the Minnesota Vikings. Despite many penciling in the Green Bay Packers as the Steelers’ opponent, the Pittsburgh radio host says he has been told it will be Minnesota.

This wouldn’t be the first time the Steelers played Minnesota overseas, as they played the Vikings in London in 2013 in a 34-27 loss. Matt Cassel was the quarterback for the Vikings that day, throwing for 248 yards and two touchdowns against a Steelers defense that was beginning to fall apart. Le’Veon Bell made his NFL debut in this game, as well, rushing for two touchdowns.
We’ll see if Fillipponi is correct when the NFL schedule release takes place on May 14th.
